(UPI) The 17 participating nations decided today to resume disarmament negotiations at Geneva next Jan. 21. The Geneva arms talks first went into session on March 14, 1962, and have been carried on sporadically since. Originally scheduled as an 18-natipn con- ference, with six countries par- ticipating from each of the Com- munist, Western and non-com- mitted groups, the negotiations were boycotted by France from the start.

Rear Adm. George Burley, USN, the White House physi- cian, went to the emergency room where the President and Connally had been taken. The President was in Texas on a two-day visit, one of whose purposes was to buck up Dem- ocratic presidential strength. Both wives waited outside the emergency room of the hospi- tal. Anxious members of the White House staff assembled. The President had landed only a short time before at Dal- las' Love Field and was driv- ing to the Trade Mart to de- liver a luncheon speech. The streets were lined by crowds, the biggest turnout of the Texas tour. Both the body and glass bub- ble of the car are proof against most gunfire, but the top was down so the President could wave to the crowds. It was also difficult to deter- mine immediately whether the First Lady and Mrs. Connally were injured. Both women were in the car Both women were crouched down over the inert forms of their husbands as the big car raced toward the hospital.

A call also was sent for a Ro- man Catholic priest. Congressman Jim Wright of Fort Worth said both Kennedy and Connally were seriously wounded but were alive. Blood was splattered over the limousine which had been flown in specially to carry the President in a welcoming pa- rade. The driver was Secret Service man Bill Greer. A second priest was escorted in a few moments later. At the height of the emergen- cy room drama, a weeping Ne- gro woman bearing a small bloody child rushed into the hospital, where a nurse and an intern went quickly to her side. Mrs Kennedy apparently was safe, Mrs. Connally also was safe, it appeared. Both women were stunned. Kennedy, according to a member of his staff, was still alive at p.m. CST NEWSPAPER!
